Tragic Death of Influencer Beatriz dos Anjos Miranda
A shocking incident has taken place in Brazil, where popular influencer Beatriz dos Anjos Miranda, aged 24, was found dead under tragic circumstances. The young mother of two, who boasted an impressive following of 1.5 million on the social media platform Kwai, was suspected to have been murdered by her ex-boyfriend.
Authorities discovered her lifeless body in her car, which had been set ablaze, in the early hours of Saturday morning in the city of Maracanau, located in the northeastern state of Ceara. According to reports, Beatriz was strangled to death, with her ex-boyfriend, Antônio Lício Morais da Costa, aged 20, being arrested shortly after the grim discovery.
Beatriz gained fame for her engaging content, which included comedy sketches, dance routines, and glimpses into her daily life. Tragically, the couple’s relationship, often portrayed as ‘toxic’ in their shared videos, took a violent turn. Brazilian news outlet G1 reported that an argument erupted between the two inside the car before Antônio allegedly took a drastic step, using the seatbelt to strangle Beatriz.
In an eerie twist, hours before the incident, footage surfaced showing the couple in a heated confrontation, during which Beatriz was seen wielding scissors against Antônio. Following the incident, he has been formally charged with femicide by public prosecutors, a serious crime reflecting the rising concern over gender-based violence in the region.
Antônio, who has a history of conflicts with law enforcement, was previously recorded by Beatriz during an altercation with traffic police. This incident occurred after authorities stopped him for riding a motorbike that was not roadworthy. After appearing in court, he was remanded in custody as the investigation continues.
Beatriz dos Anjos Miranda will be remembered not only for her vibrant online presence but also as a victim of a tragic and violent crime.
